Fun Spanish lessons for kids and adults with songs, cartoons and movies

19 € /h

Hello, my name is Kateryna. I will be glad to become your Spanish teacher. I also speak and can teach Ukrainian, Russian, English and Dutch :) I like to learn new things, especially languages. And also to share knowledge and study methods. I write poems and prose, draw abstractions. I believe in the perfection of the world and a bright future.

I have 3 years of experience as a teacher:
1 year of experience teaching Spanish online;
2 years of experience in private online English lessons;
7 months of offline English language teaching experience for Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands.

Interesting and fun Spanish lessons for children and adults who remain children at heart.

We watch cartoons, listen to songs, read poetry and prose. We analyze what is happening there, we speak out loud a lot, put pronunciation, do interesting exercises. We also sing a lot - because this is the best way to learn a new language.

I also arrange a practice with a native Ecuadorian. I myself lived in Ecuador and Spain for a long time, and I practice using the language with native speakers every day.

Russian for children and students – any age and level. Improves writing, reading, speaking and listening skills 9up to GCSE and A-level)
Conversation for Holiday and travel to Russia – everyday conversations, dialogs, situations, culture, tips for travelling, Internet and teenagers language.
Business Russian- basic level for business and corporate language communication for satisfying main communicative needs in everyday situations, in professional, business and socio-cultural spheres.

Personal approach
My motto is not only to teach language, but also make Russians closer to people of other cultures and languages by showing and researching rich Russian history, culture, humor and character. That is why I’m using press, everyday life stories and cases in addition to academic text books and methods. My journalistic and communication background together with education helps me to reach this goal.

Hi! I'm a professional musician based in Vienna, with experience performing on international cruise ships.

I have a native-level command of Russian and speak English fluently.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversation — no stiff textbooks, no pressure,
just genuine communication in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Whether you're an absolute beginner taking your very first steps, a professional looking to sharpen your target language, or a teenager wanting to sound more natural — I tailor every lesson to you.

Why learn Russian?
Russian language is one the most spoken languages in the world - and one of the most underrated to learn.
It covers over 250 million people across Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and many other countries.
It opens the door to one of the richest literary and artistic traditions in human history.
It helps people connect, whether it's a professional or personal realm.

Why learn Russian with me?

My sessions are flexible, fun, and always focused on building your confidence.
Living between cultures and languages my whole life has taught me how daunting — and how rewarding — learning a new language can be. I get it, and I'm here to make the journey easier.

Learn to speak, read, and understand Russian with confidence. This course is designed for beginners as well as learners who want to improve their existing skills in a practical and engaging way.

You will build a strong foundation in the Russian alphabet (Cyrillic), pronunciation, essential vocabulary, and grammar. Step by step, you’ll learn how to introduce yourself, hold everyday conversations, and understand common phrases used in real-life situations.

Through interactive lessons, exercises, and speaking practice, you’ll gain confidence in listening and communicating naturally in Russian. We’ll also explore aspects of Russian culture to help you better understand the language in context.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to read basic texts, form sentences, and communicate in everyday situations with ease.

Russian is one of the world’s most widely spoken, elegant, and expressive languages. It is also undoubtedly difficult to learn. However, as a fellow MA student and a Russian Linguistics major, I know effective techniques for teaching Russian as a foreign language.

Unlike many other tutors, I can also offer students an insight into contemporary Russian-speaking culture and society. Simply put, we can learn Russian while talking about a wide range of topics — from the latest games to philosophy.

Of course, grammar will be an important part of our lessons, but I have not only a degree in Russian language studies, but also experience teaching Russian to foreigners. Since I live in Europe myself, my schedule is especially convenient for students in European and nearby time zones.

Whether you want to start from scratch, expand your vocabulary, improve your grammar, or raise your current level, I am here to help. I teach students from A0 to B1, and I can also offer speaking practice for B2 learners.

Have a nice one and see you in class!

I specialize in teaching Russian to students who want clear, practical, and friendly lessons. My goal is to help students feel challenged, but not overwhelmed. In class, students learn how to pronounce Russian sounds correctly and understand the rules of vowel reduction for natural pronunciation. We also focus on grammar, speaking practice, useful vocabulary, and real communication. I give clear explanations, provide regular practice, and support students as they build confidence and make steady progress in Russian.

This class is designed to help you learn Russian in a structured, practical, and engaging way. Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some knowledge, lessons are adapted to your level and goals.

We focus on building real communication skills from the start. You will learn useful vocabulary, clear grammar explanations, and practice speaking in a supportive environment. Complex topics are broken down into simple steps so you can progress with confidence.

The course combines speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with an emphasis on real-life usage. You will also gain insight into Russian culture and language patterns, making learning more natural and effective.

Russian may seem challenging at first, but with the right guidance and consistency, it becomes much easier. The goal is to make learning structured, understandable, and motivating.

I offer personalized English, IELTS, and TOEFL lessons focused on both general language improvement and exam-specific strategies. My teaching combines structured materials, official-style practice tests, textbooks, authentic English content, and individual feedback. I help students improve grammar, vocabulary, speaking fluency, writing structure, listening comprehension, reading strategies, and time management.

A typical lesson includes a short warm-up, review/Q&A, targeted practice, detailed feedback, and homework adapted to the student’s goals. I commonly offer flipped-lesson structure so as to maximise students' speaking time during lessons and minimise passive video, audio, and text material study—something that can often be done without a tutor. For exam preparation, I also help with understanding the format, avoiding common mistakes, and building confidence through regular timed practice.

I have five years of experience teaching both children and adults. My students have achieved TOEFL scores such as 98, 100, 105, and 114, and I have helped some learners progress from elementary all the way to C1/C2 and exam success. I personally scored 116/120 on TOEFL iBT and 8.5/9 on IELTS Academic, and I hold a TEFL/TESOL certificate with excellence.

What sets me apart is my friendly, supportive, reliable, and conscientious teaching style. As a native Russian and Kyrgyz speaker, I can explain difficult points clearly to Russian-speaking students. I also speak Intermediate Mandarin Chinese (HSK 5) and I am actively learning German—in other words I understand what struggles language learners face very well. This, as well as my cognitive neuropsychology and linguistics background make me very competent in languages as such, which helps me adapt to all kinds of students.

My lessons are suitable for teenagers, including school students, adults, university applicants, professionals, and anyone preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, academic English, or general English improvement. I work with learners from beginners to advanced levels and adapt lessons to each student’s goals, timeline, and current ability.
